Abit of progress, lamin-x yellow on the fog lights, finaly wired the oil temp gauge up so now both gauges are working and now lowered as much as possible on the front with helpers in to match the rear and level the car out abit. Will get some pics up tomorrow! Plans next are hopefully whiteline RARB, re-map, and with a hefty bit of saving turbo back milltek :D

No point in smoothing to put the plate back!! Think I'm going to get a 3/4 plate or an import one and find a nicer place but for now, cableties FTW!

Looks cool man!

Not a huge fan of the numberplate placement though.

I'd whack it on the side, similiar to this:

Looks like a temporary position that way, so doesn't interrupt the lines of the car you're trying to create with the new smooth front.

That smoothing looks horrible :shock: compared to Harneys, it looks as though it flexes in

Yeh that's quite a good placement! Like I said, going to get a smaller plate and mess about to find a good place

Right number plate has been removed and relegated to the window. miles better! haha. but im now thinking im unsure on the front end :(
Im begining to think matte black might be the way to go with the grill surround as it mite soften the apperance and make it look less in your face if you get what i mean, it will also tie in better with the grills and a certain splitter im looking at! 8)
Whats peoples thoughts?
